    Searching and Reading Logs Challenging Amid Slow Interface and Limited Usability Features

    While the interface for CloudWatch Logs is slow and unintuitive, the near-seamless integration with other AWS products makes it a natural choice for teams on AWS. In other words: Easy to use and write to, but harder than other platforms to search, read, and review.
